U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has taken one of its agents off the streets after he was caught on video throwing a distraught mother to the floor of a New York City courthouse in front of her two children on Thursday.

It wasn’t the first time videos have captured scenes of immigration agents using violent force to carry out the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. But the videos of this incident — one of which I filmed for ProPublica — seemed to stir something different. In a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded an officer for such conduct.

What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior.

Oh, honey, they're just getting started.

    Good for you for videotaping. We need to record all members of the American Gestapo as they run roughshod over human rights.

    But dude, keep videotaping. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    So... Who wants to take bets on this not being the first time dude has made himself feel like a big man by shoving a woman around?
